Strawberry Orange Smoothies

The girls and I decided today that we need to start having smoothies with our breakfast.  They're fast, easy and super healthy.  Today we had a trial run with strawberry orange smoothies. 

They were a huge hit!  And so, so easy to make.  We're definitely doing these again. 

Strawberry Orange Smoothies

2 cups vanilla yogurt

1 bag (10 ounces) frozen strawberries

2 T orange juice

Put everything in a blender and blend.  Pour into glasses and serve immediately (it won't last long!).

Crock Pot Soup

Crock Pot Soup

can of rotel
can of corn (I used frozen)
can of black beans (drained & rinsed)
2 frozen chicken breasts
8 oz cream cheese
1 packet dry ranch dressing
1 tablespoon cumin
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
Put all ingredients in crock pot and cook 6-8 hours. Shred chicken, and enjoy!                   

Frozen Lemonade

Today the girls and I made frozen lemonade.  I've never made lemonade from real lemons before, I just always used a mix, but this time we decided to use real lemons.  It turned out sooo yummy! 

The girls loved it and slurped it all up in about five minutes.  We'll definitely be making this again!

Frozen Lemonade

3 lemons, juiced
1/2 C sugar
3 C crushed ice
maraschino cherries

Combine 1/2 C ice, lemon juice and sugar in blender and blend until ice is slushy.  Add remaining ice, about a half a cup at a time until all ice is slushed.  Pour into cups and top with a cherry.  Enjoy!

I think we might try adding some frozen strawberries next time to make strawberry lemonade!
